The preparation is described of solid complexes of the nucleosides uridine and thymidine with MnII, FeII, CoII, NiII, CuII, and CdII, in which the ligands are present as neutral molecules. Physical measurements indicate that uridine binds to the metal ions primarily through the carbonyl group at C4 of the base, with chelation by the ribose residue in some cases, whereas thymidine is probably bonded predominantly through the deoxyribose unit.
